MGM Grand, Las Vegas - In a rematch of their May encounter, Floyd Mayweather Jr. (47-0, 26KOs) retained his WBC/WBA welterweight titles with a twelve round unanimous decision over Marcos Maidana (35-5, 31KOs). The scores were 115-112, 116-111, 116-111. Mayweather won a twelve round majority decision the first time around. It was only the second rematch of Mayweather's career and the first for Maidana.
It was a feeling out round in the first, which Maidana likely edged. Maidana was applying a lot of pressure, being aggressive but nowhere near as reckless as he was in the first fight. Mayweather, as usual, was picking his shots and being very accurate in the second. Maidana was throwing flurries in the third, though most of the shots were missing. Mayweather was landing accurate shots in spots. But it was Maidana who hit Mayweather big with a right hand that shook him at the bell.
